Cadet whittaker's Career.

After the trial Cadet Whitaker went
to Buffalo and letturel in the small
towns OF western New York. He was
just then the person whom the public was
hungry to see, and he took their quarters
and let them see him. He did not. how
ever, make any great sum, for he did not
like the business, and had n taste for bet
ter things He went TO Charleston, where
he taught for some time in a military in
stitute. studying law in his spare mo
ments. He was soon admitted TO the
South Carolina bar, and is now junior
member Of leading law firm of Charles
ton. Personally, he is slight in build, is
of quiet, taciturn disposition and Is not
50 dark In color but that he is often mis-
taken for n pure Saxon. He does a good
deal of newspaper work, is sharp and
vigorous writer. n close thinker, devoted
friend of his race and is quite likely TO be
heard from in the world of affairs.--Phil-
adelphia Times.

One source of sudden deaths is accidents,
but many events pass under the head Of
accidents which might have been foreseen
and guarded against. Americans, particu-
larly, are apt to take great risks; for ex-
ample, in their eating, their clothing their
building in crossing railway tracks, and
in many other ways. No staging need
ever fall, and It would net if proper care
were taken in the choice Of material and
in construction. Think Of the frightful
list of deaths resulting from the use Of oil
poured upon lighted fire to cause it to
kindle more quickiyl
With many other causes Of sudden
death, our own personal ills seem at first
sight to have almost nothing to do. There
may be fatal break in the physical ma
chinery at point where weakness has not
been suspected. The heart, perhaps, be-
comes unnaturally enlarged, or its tough,
muscular fiber turns to fat, and suddenly
there is mortal rupture. Or the en-
feebled heart fails to send blood to the
brain, and the man drops dead in the
street, or at his business. or, more fortu-
nately perhaps, in the midst OF his family.
In other cases there may be degenera-
tion of the cerebral artery, and high
living, or a glass Of wine, or an excite
ment of passion, may arouse the heart to
send the blood to the brain with force
too great for the weakened arterial walls
to withstand. These walls give way at
one or more points, the Outpoured blood
presses against the nerve centers, and
thus is cut of the necessary supply Of
nerve force to vital organs. The man
falls unconscious, and within few days
dies
We have not space to speak Of other
causes somewhat similar, but in most Of
them the weakness OF the link at which
the chain breaks is due to over exertion,
to too continuous brain work, to excesses
in eating and drinking, to passion, to
worry. The weak spot being ascertained,
the fatal result may be prevented for
years, perhaps indefinitely by carefully
regulated life.-Youth's Companion.

Just as famous old songs take in the
strange surroundings of a burlesque, SO
do well known dances. Thus, sailors
hornpipe is generally encOred in panto-
mime, and a spirited Highland fling"
sends the average audience into ecstasies.
And so these dances are still taught in the
theatrical dancing academies, with others
in which the steps" are exceedingly diff
ficult and intricate. Each step has its
technical name, and for pautomime many
dancers merely learn q certain number Of
them and subsequently work them into
dances for themselves. There is n curious
twirl Of the leg, known as the knee
twist" which every actor or actress in
the burlesquc aims at mastering. The
knee twist is like figure in skating-it
may appear easy to do it before you try,
but not after.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Fine Flbers Of Glass.

By the method adopted by Mr.. c. V.
Boys, the British physicist, glass rods are
quickly drawn into very fine fibefs by
straw arrows shot from cross bow. One
end Of the rod is attached to the arrow
and the other is held in the fingers, the
required temperature being given the cen
ter Of the rcd before the bow is released.
Glass is thus extended into fibers less than
one ten thOusandth Of an inch in diameter,
and quartz into threads below one hundred
thousandth Of an inch in thickness
which is less than onethird as thick as
the spiders web, and only one-twentieth
as thick as the silk worms fiber. The
process is also quite successful with aug
ite, feldspar and other minerals, garnet
yielding threads of most beautiful colors
when treated ut n low temperature. At
the reading of his recent most interesting
paper concerning these fine fibers, Mr..
Boys exhibited to the London Physical
society an annealed glass spiral capable
OF quite accurately weighing the milliOnth
Of q grain.-Arkansaw Traveller.
